As the summer comes to an end and I start getting ready for another college year, I look back at all of the time I spent at work in the grocery store's bakery department a few miles from my house. For hours upon hours, six days of the week, you could find me there with some of the most laid back people along side me behind the counter. I thought I would reflect and thank my co workers for keeping me sane these past three years.

To start, I want to say thank you for making me enjoy going and being at work. Usually, I would dread the thought of having to clock in at seven in the morning, but it isn't so bad when I know I'll be spending my day with all of you. I love my job and doing what I do and my co workers make it all the more enjoyable. I couldn't imagine not liking my job. There is never a day that I am not always laughing at some comment thrown here and there or a joke that is being made.

Thank you to help me take on our everyday tasks and customers. We make a good team and help each other out when help is needed. Thank you for listen to me complain each morning. Whether it be my personal life, school life, or something within the store. All of you put up with my nagging and deserve a medal for doing so. I know it can be annoying but we all complain together. The co workers who are crank together, win together... right?

A huge thank you to my manager for teaching me everything I know about my job. Because of my manager, I know the ins and outs of our departments, what is right, and what is wrong. She makes the department run smoothly and keeps everyone on their toes (in the good way). Thank you to my work best friend. You know who you are. I love being able to gossip about people from high school and our past and what is happening in our lives overall. We never take things too seriously and are always there in our time of panic and need.

I get by with a little help from my co-workers. I am so lucky to work with such awesome people. I'm actually sad that I am leaving in a week. But don't worry, I'll be back again soon with you behind the counter.
